10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Manchester

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you need an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, leverage filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates fluctuate based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalising your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most cost-effective option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
